Number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine 772-774-5-254. Thanks for everybody writing in. Text machine has been rolling along well today to follow. People say in some groups in and where they fight, apparently they say Allison Chains used to fight a lot. Oasis. Allison Chains used to have.

I never heard those. And I'm a big fan of those guys. Oasis, yeah. Oasis, yeah. They're brothers. And they stay. oasis and they're always like going at each other fighting it fighting all the time black crows black but yeah your accent uh black crows hated each other for the i don't know it's oasis we remember

during the mtv for oasis the MTV unplugged the one singer was like sitting up and the rafters the heckling the rest of the band while he wasn't even a part of it yeah they have a really weird relationship um all right so here we're going to play listen if you're on hold and you want to play this I'll let you. If you don't, go ahead and hang up because this is for the KSR comes to you. Now, we need to give a better name for it. I don't want to say KSR in your house because here's the thing. If you would like KSR to come to you and do a show at a place of your choosing,

the only thing is it can't be like a business. And it can be a business, but it can't be a business like a retail business. Like I can't come to advertise your store. Correct. But if you want to like having it at your office, or something like that, I can do that, but I can't advertise your place of business. If you want us to have it at your house, you could say have it. You can pick.

The game, though, is you have to make the case of why we should come to your place. So you can call right now, 859-280-2287. I see a couple of people on the line. You are lucky. I'm going to let you play. But if you don't want us to come to your place, then tap out. but then tap out. Yeah.

859-280-2287. Phone lines are open. This is just for Lexington today. Correct. Okay? Yeah. We'll move into other parts of the state, but this is just for Lexington. Now, hopefully, Ryan, people would like us to come.

Yes. If no one wants us to come, then this game does not work as well. It's not going to work. I can tell you why. Number one, you just said Lexington only. And I see a caller that's on there that says he's from Louisville. So people are not listening already. See, I don't understand why people don't understand the rules.

So Dave, here, just put Dave on real quick. Dave, you're in Louisville, right? Yes. Are you wanting to play the game? No, thank you, sir. But I just said if you didn't want to play the game, you could call back later. That's why this works. You get so mad.

Dave? Yes, sir. But did you hear the? the rules? I did not. I was in the other room. He was in the other room. He was in the other room.

He was in the other room. Okay, Dave, what did you have that was not this? Go ahead. Just I was going to tell you guys, we're in Loflin and joining our vacation, and I'm getting ready to leave here tomorrow. And the thing is, Kentucky just got a way back on for the game, for the years next year.

So I'm going to put some money on the cats to maybe reach the final four. And I'm thinking about putting 100. But what do you guys think about me up in it to $1,000 for him, just to reach the final four because of all the way to coming back and I think we got a good shot. And I just want to hang up with you guys to talk about that. I'm just going to think about $100. I appreciate it. I don't know what the money means to you, sir.

If the money means a lot, don't bet $1,000. The money is just like, play money for you, then go for it. Because I think Kentucky has a good chance. But just make sure you pay more attention to the terms and conditions of the bet than the rules of this game that we've played earlier. But yes, go for it if you have the money. But if you don't, you know, it's not my fault, right? Yeah, you know, $1,000 a lot of money for me. I bet it maybe $10.

I don't feel good on a $10 bet to the final four. All right. So you're telling me, Shannon, everyone that's on this list is from Lexington. Oh, somebody already dropped off. I can't promise you anything. I mean, they're still on. You need to be Lexington and you want us to come out of the house. And there goes another one.

All right, at least they're following the direction. That's true. Okay. They just heard you get on to that guy. All right. So, okay. Hopefully these other two lines will fill once we start because people started dropping off. So this is, if you want KSR to come to your house or place in Lexington next week.

Next week. And you're going to make the case. Make the case right now. And we're going to pick which one goes. Okay, Tristan. Another person dropped off, Shannon. None of these people were listening to the rules. No, nobody knows.

Nobody can follow a direction. Okay. Tristan. Where are you from, Tristan? Good morning, gentlemen. I'm here in Lexington. Lexington. Where, Tristan, give us the case as to why we should do the show at your place? I humbly offer the location of our Masonic Lodge on Southland Drive. The Masonic Lodge, okay? Why should we go there? Well, for one, it's easy to get to. That's on Southland. And the other thing is that I firmly believe that there are hundreds of people listen or this show right now that have free masonry in their heart that live by Masonic values but I've never once heard of Freemasonry of Ever Step Foot in the Lodge

and so it's uh you know you guys come in there as just doing the double service of providing a service to you and also to uh you know building the you know building the uh all right hang on right there so masonic lodge uh in in lexington isn't that that's a big building it is it's they just moved into it it's on southland drive it's where the uh used be a restaurant there. I can't remember the name of the restaurant. They bought this facility and moved in there. Okay.

All right. So that's number one. Let's go to Michael one. Michael. Are you in Lexington? Yes. Okay. Where should we get?

Explain to us where we should go and why? Now, I know you said you wouldn't do endorsements, but I think you could do a strong recommendation for the new Sierra's that's opening off of Sir Barton Way. I think that would be a great place. the call. Again, I said, we cannot do endorsements. We can only do, see, Shannon, we can't do endorsements because that would be, uh, people have to pay for that. That's true. It's supposed to be something fun. Yes. Your house or your, you know, the, you know, the masonic lodge is, is different. We can't do endorsements. Yeah, if you got a cool backyard or cool backyard,

cool basement. Maybe you like, you'll, you'll help us set up on the street. I'm good with all that. Yeah. Can't do endorsements. All right, Gabe, since Michael 1 didn't follow the rules. Gabe, what do you got? Gabe. This is really going well. That's what I love these contests. This is really going well, Shannon.

Is Gabe on the phone? Is this Dave or Gabe? Gabe. You're the one on the phone. What do you mean? We're talking to you. Go ahead, Gabe. My name is Dave, like David.

Well, it says Gabe here, so you're Gabe right now. You're the one that wrote that, Shannon. All right, go ahead, Dave. Go ahead. I've got a private residence across from Jacobson Park in a subdivision. Newly refinished back deck. So we have indoor and outdoor weather plan. The back is all woods.

Okay. Indoor is a lower level that has a gym, a bar, a theater, and a large seating area with all kinds of sports memorabilia in there. I got a caveat is retired military. I moved here from Washington, East. so the sports memory of Bailey is the Washington Nationals championship and the Washington Capitol. So you're at Jacobson Park, Jacobson Park,

suburb, close to there, would let us use your backyard and has an indoor, outdoor possibility. All right, good candidate. Hang on just a second, Dave. And there's a hot tub. I'm not getting in the hot tub with you, Dave. Sorry, that's actually, that's a strike against. All right, so Michael now.

So hang on, Dave. Michael, what is your, where are you? And what's up? So I'm in Lexington, but it actually wouldn't be at my house. It would be at a friend's house. And I haven't actually asked him if he'd be willing to. But let me, let me give you the case. Okay.

So he, we both graduated law school this spring. We're studying for the bar right now. He has listened to probably every KSR episode for three, at least three years. I can guarantee that. And he is much smarter than I am. You all could talk about the law. It would be so much fun. But you haven't asked him yet, right?

No, I haven't asked him, but I think it would be funny if you showed up and he was studying for the bar because, like, he genuinely loves you guys. I think I can't just show up at someone's house. And they don't know that I'm coming. Because if they don't want us there. No, no, I'll let him know. I just haven't asked him yet. All right, all right.

Hang on. Michael, I'm going to leave you on the phone. I don't know if that's going to work that you haven't asked. him yet. But if he's if he's such a big fan, he may be listening right now. He may be. It's true. All right. Well, let's go to Blake. Go ahead, Blake. Blake, where do you think we're in Lexington? Where would we do it? I'm in Lexington. I'm over in the Southland area, so I'm not far away from downtown. We've got a fresh new renovation on the back of the house. Myself and my stepdad and father-in-law built ourselves. And we've got a nice covered patio and cool little outdoor space for you all. And you can do it

inside as well. So we've got space for you inside or out. But listen to you all every day. Love the show. I love to talk to you about, you know, sports and politics and all sorts of stuff. That would be fine. All right. All right.

So there we go. Southland. He has a renovation. It's always nice to celebrate a renovation. Is it? Yeah. Like the newly remodeled show. He's in Elizabeth town.

Just like that. That's exactly right. It's just like the newly remodeled show. All right. So we have two more. Actually, Blake, you just hung up. So I can't. We can, huh?

He hung up, yeah. All right, Mike, well, you're out. You can't hang up. So now we're down to Charlie and Jane. Charlie, go ahead, Charlie. Yeah, Matt. I just wanted to say something. I was on the phone when you said anybody can call in now is eligible.

And then you said only from Lexington, which I'm like, now I sound like a jerk. Well, we said, well, we said Lexington a few times. Yeah, we've said it a few times. Oh, okay. I caught you a little bit. watch a little bit late. So I'll call you when you're out of Lexington. That'll be fine.

All right. Thank you, Charlie. So now he's out as well. Slowly, this is starting to dwindle down. But it's also narrowing our choices. Very true. It's working itself out right before our eyes because people keep having to drop out.

All right, we'll do one more. Jane. Jane, what's your case? Hi, yes. Here's my case. Sorry, you're having a hard time. But I'm a graduate. These games are a little bumpy.

Yeah, my son goes. UK is a junior. He has a house, eight guys live in it. They're all in the same fraternity, but two floors right down the street from your bar. It's on Maxwell, I think. Anyway, we would love to have you come in there, and it's just there's not. I don't have anything fancy, but that is a house of some real passionate University of Kentucky. So eight guy, eight guys frat house.

Yeah, it's a eight guy frat house. Now, it's two floors, and you'd be on the second floor with my son with his three guys or whatever. but they have followed you since I was little. Yeah, and they have followed you since I have followed you since I was ever. My mom went there, third year, and then the four of them, they're with a Fred House. Yeah, they won the dance contest. You remember that big good dance contest at Rupp Arena recently? So they did that.

Okay. But they've got TVs up, and they're ready to go. Yeah, they got TVs up. They watch sports like crazy, betting like crazy. All right, sounds good. Hang on, Jay. All right. So Jane has an eight-guy frat house close to KS Bar.

Mario already has. That's the one he wants to go to. All right. We've had a couple other people quickly. Mark, go ahead, Mark. Yeah, hey. Yeah, my wife makes custom cookies. So we've got cookies set up for you guys.

Custom cookies. And then, yeah, and she'll make them with your faces on them and everything. And then we have a nice backyard. And we're going to be putting some chickens in. the backyard soon. So you would have some nice things to look at with the trees. And we also have sweet. That's right, free eggs and sweet bay magnolias on either side of the deck. So it's where in Lexington is this? Well, it's for sales, not Lexington. But it's right down the street from Lexington. All right, all right. Hang on. Last one. John. Go ahead, John. Yeah, Matt. I'm in Paris. So I'm close to Lexington, too.

We're stretching the boundaries. Starting to stretch. This is the outer boundaries are starting to get stretched. I work on a very, I work on a very big horse farm. So you could set on my front porch and be looking at mayors and foals during the show. I've got a back porch and a deck that's covered in case it's raining. It'd be a great spot. All right.

I don't want to say the name of the horse farm because I don't want to endorse anything. I understand. Hang on right there. All right. So here are the children. choices. We got Tristan. He's at the Masonic Lodge. We've got Dave. He's the veteran at Jacobson Park has the memorabilia. We got Michael who wants to put it at his friend's house who's studying for the bar exam. We got Jane with our eight-person frat house. We got Mark,

whose wife will make cookies and has chickens in Versailles. And then we have John who's at a horse farm. And someone just hung up. Who just hung up? Was that Jane? Yeah, Jane's not on there anymore. So I guess the frat guys, maybe one of them called Jane and said we don't want them there. Okay, forget about the last one. So we're down to five.

I want you to think about it during the break. Everybody hang on. We'll eliminate people and we'll figure out where we're going. Gotcha. All right. We'll be right back. KS. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps. certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects.

I learned in the break you all were going to pick the Frat House and then she got off the phone. I think that was one of the leading candidates because it would be great content. We made a good show and then she hung up. One person writes, Matt, I once bought you at a charity date auction and we never ended up having the date. Still time. Now would be the time you could come to the house.

And now is the perfect time. Yeah, but she didn't get through all the phone. So the contest over. I don't remember. That was a long time ago. I was in that. Remember Lexington used to have those? Yes.

They used to have the-I didn't even know you did it. I did it one year. It was a long time ago. So somebody bought you in the charity date auction and then you guys didn't get there. Back then it was so long ago. I don't even know that people even knew who I was. Yeah. I was like, I'm talking.

This was like, oh, seven, oh, eight, something like that. It was that long ago. But. Missed opportunity. Yeah. Miss connections. Miss connections. Okay.

All right. Shannon, real quick. Put Laura on. Laura, go ahead. What's your case? I have a lot of zillion reasons. One, my grandmother's from Taylor County also. My husband and our UK grads for basketball.

season ticket holders. We live in a retirement community, and it would be the most excitement we'd had in a long time there. So, and we live in Lexington. Is this in Lexington? Is it in Lexington, though? Yeah. Okay. Over in Beaumont, I Needles Lane. In Beaumont. All right. So in Beaumont, all right, hang on just a second. So there we go. All right, here's what we're going to do. Everybody has to, Mario's on here, too. First of all, everybody has to eliminate one. Masonic Lards, Jacobson Park, the friend that doesn't know we're coming. the chickens and the cookies in Versailles, Paris Horse Farm, retirement community.

Ryan, be mean and eliminate one. Mark had me with cookies, but he lost me with chickens. I'm not doing a show with chickens running around, so Mark's gone. Mark's out. Wow, that was one of my favorites because of the cookies. You've got wild roosters and chickens running around. I'm sure. I don't think anyway.

He doesn't say wild. All right. Mark's out. Mario, which one you eliminate him? I'm going with Blake, the Southland, He's not even in it. Oh, he's not in it. No.

So this list I'm looking at, Ryan's phone is inaccurate. You want to get rid of the Masonic Lodge, Jacobson Park, Friends House, Horse Farm, Retirement Community. Ah, man, I'm going to go with the Masonic Lodge. Masonic. Masonic. All right, sorry, Tristan. Masonic Lodge is out by Mario. Shannon, Jacobson Park, Friends House, Horse Farm, retirement community.

Take out Jacobson Park. Park. Jacobson Park. All right. Sorry. Now we're down to the friend that does not know we're coming to his house, the retirement community, or the horse farm. All right.

The one thing I want to avoid here is awkwardness. I think if we go to a person's house who does not actively know they want us at the house, that's not going to be good. He's a fan, though. Yeah, but there's a difference between. being a fan and you're studying for the bar and we show up at your house. So he's out. You can help him though.

You're a lawyer. So he's out. So we're down to a horse farm in Paris or the retirement community. All right. Everybody make a vote. Ryan, horse farm in Paris, retirement community. I'm actually going to vote for the retirement community. I think it'll make great content.

And plus we said the rules were it has to be in Lexington. The horse farms in Paris. I think that eliminates them. All right. Shannon, what's your vote? Retirement community. I'm going for the horse farm. All right, so you're bringing it down to me.

You can either tie it or make the decision. I'll tell you what. The goal in this is to go and experience new things. I think it would be nice to go to this retirement community and to do the show there. I'm sure it would be exciting for some folks there. They'll love it. And so I'll tell you what.

Laura, hang on, give your information to Shannon. and we will go to the retirement community in Beaumont. They will be so excited that we're bringing a radio show to their retirement community. I think it'll be awesome. So there we go. And Mario can talk to everybody while we're there. Great content. So thank you all very much for playing.

And we'll keep that we will do this also in other places later in the week. I would just say to you, guy whose wife would make cookies with our face on it, that was going to be my pick. But it got eliminated first by rock. Because the chickens. If he would have left that out, I probably would have picked them. And I would have considered the frat house with eight people. I would have too.

And the guy in Jacobson Park did make his house seem pleasant. He did. But we'll end up with Laura at the retirement community. Guess who my mom voted for? Retirement community. Absolutely. That's exactly right. So that should be exciting.

NBA final start tonight. While I pull up my draft kings read, are you excited about Thunder Pacers? I'm very excited about it because of the. Pacers. Now, I don't know if they can beat O KC in a seven-game series, but the fact that these two teams have gotten there kind of takes away from the old, you know, Durant, Westbrook, you know, Paul

George, these guys all trying to make these power teams. These guys, you're just five dudes who go out there just playing ball, just balling. Well, they're not just five dudes off the street. I mean, they're very good. They're not like these super power teams. No, I mean, they're not. Siakum and Tyrese Halliburton

are both very good. I mean, most people don't even know who they are. Yes. I don't know. I feel like it's going to be boring, though. I just feel like it's going to be boring. First of all, I think the Thunder are going to crush them. I think the Thunder will probably win the series.

I think Thunder are going to crush them, and I just think it's going to be boring. I mean, I love Shea, but. The games leading up to this have been awesome. Name me the second best player on the Thunder. I want to know, in all honesty, I want to know if you can name the second, and it's not Chet Home. The Williams. What's his first?

Brandon Williams. Okay. Shannon, what is the, second best player on the Thunder's name. Oh, I don't even know. I couldn't. I'm not even like making fun of you. I don't think most people would know.

I can tell you more players on the Pacers. Jalen Williams. Jalen Williams. And there are two Jailen Williams on the team. Oh, yeah. Should have been easy to remember. Can you name the starting lineup for the Thunder? No.

Give me a guess. I've already given you Jalen Williams. So you have Shay and Jailen Williams and who? Chet Holmgram. Okay. Now you got, can you name the other two guys? Russell Westbrook. No.

Have you ever heard of Lou Dort? Lou Dort? Because, yes, he was Shay's roommate for a couple of years when they lived out there. Roommate. Yeah, before Shea got married, him and Lou Dort were roommates. He had a roommate? How do you know these things? Well, you can bet on this at Draft Kings.

Go to Draft Kings, about $5 or more, and you can do it. It is Draft King's promo code KSR. That is your Draft King's pick of the day. Look at you knowing that they've roomed together. Yeah, they did. Shea bought a house and Dorton had me a place to live. And she said, just move me with me. And they still, to this day, ride to do each other to their airport.

When they go on a road trip. Mario is just kind of cackling. I know. He's like the chicken. We'll take a break. I'll be right back. KSR. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.

Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now more of Kentucky. Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. We're getting a lot of praise. In terms of getting people to like us, doing it at the retirement community by far was the best. Score some major. We're getting some major like browning points. That's nice. You're going to make so. Thank you. So thank you to Laura for,

or Jane or whoever it was for calling. Laura. And suggesting that. Great idea. Something we haven't done. I think not only will they have fun, I think we'll have a lot of fun. Yeah, I don't think we've ever done it. See, that's the goal of this. summers to try to do different things like that. And, you know, this will be, this will be good. And we'll go next Thursday, hopefully, if that's when they can do it. Okay. And, uh, and yeah, that'll be like, you know, we're out and about. And then when we play it next time, you can suggest more cities, um, than just Lexington. So we're doing a retirement home this week. I guess next week we'll do a daycare center with kids. No, no, retirement home. We're going next week. And no, we're not, I'm not going

with children. Somebody who suggests children. You want to get eliminated? Suggest anything with kids and you will be eliminated from the context. One person writes, Matt, I saw a story and since Billy's not here to do the top 10 news this week, what do you think about Tinder now allowing women to say the heights of the people they want to date? I think it's good. We tall guys need to be able to be separated out. from everyone else. What about us short guys? You can be a short king if you want, but you, you know, six feet tall.

Most women will tell you that they only want to date someone six feet or taller. Yeah. I'm not saying that's good, but it's also reality. And so it's going to hurt the short guys. I don't think there's any doubt about that. It's going to hurt people like you. Discrimination against short people. I understand.

Now, how old are you? Or not how old are you? I'm sorry. How tall are you? Like 5-8? Shannon, what are you? Are you like 5-10? 5-11, somewhere in there.

What are you? 5-10. Drew's like 6-2. Yeah. So this helps me and Drew. It does. Would hurt you guys. 5-10, I think it's 5-9, 5-10 seems to be the cutoff, not 6-foot. I think it's 5-9.

I think for most women's, it's, you know, when they say they're looking for a man, they say six feet tall. They don't say I'm looking for a man 5-10. Nobody's shorter than 5-9. Maybe. Oh, thanks. Wow. Have you, when you were like in the dating pool, did you feel like it hurt you that you were 5'8?

No. I didn't, I didn't do an app. I didn't do the dating services. Didn't do any of it. But you didn't feel intimidated by being a little shorter than. No, but I am. I can kind of see it because I've never dated someone taller than me and don't want to ever date somebody taller than me.

Oh, you wouldn't want to date a woman tall. I think that'd be a little. Does a tall woman intimidate you? Yes. Yes. I don't know. I think that they could post me up and squar all me down in the paint. Okay.

You know, I got the outside game, but they take me inside. I'm done. So would you date somebody taller than you? It would be hard to find somebody taller than me. I mean, there's not, there's only a handful. Well, just say you were shorter, though, and you did have somebody that's taller. I mean, it's hard for me to picture being short because I've been tall. Oh, yeah.

But if I, well, wasn't there a time where you, maybe you and Ella Deladon had a little thing going on? Elaine Deladon. Uh-huh. I mean, in my mind, you did. In her mind, I don't think she was ever interested. She was never into that side of the,

but we rode the whole subway together. That's a great. That's a story. I've told that on here. You've told the story on here. It's a great, one of the best Matt Jones stories ever, I think. It was one of the best because I was convinced Shannon she was into me.

She wasn't. I like it. Not at all. in any way that her girlfriend shows up. But then she says to me on the subway, after we have written together from Barclays

all the way, so from Brooklyn all the way to like Penn Station, she says to me, would you like to get out and have a drink? Who is ever going to see a superstar player who's beautiful, say that?

And I'm like, Shannon. Yeah. I am the most impressive person. in the world. And we walk out of the subway and I'm like, Elaine Deladon. Must to go out with me. This is going to be like, I'm going to be on the cover of us weekly.

New power couple. And then we walk up the steps and waiting for her there to give a kiss is her girlfriend. not just her significant other her girlfriend and you want to talk about feeling like and they're like all right you're ready to go like they're the third wheel now yes and i'm it was so it was one the more embarrassing i don't think she ever knew that that's what i thought she probably didn't She probably thought I was just like, you know, lucky radio guy. But I was already texting a friend like, oh, you're not going to believe this. And then I realized that I was not even playing for the same team.

No, you're on the opposite team. Mark, go ahead, Mark. Yes, sir. I was calling about the intentional walk last night between Texas and Texas Tech. So you have to explain. I saw that it was controversial, but I didn't get to watch, I didn't watch the game. So tell me what happened. One nothing game.

Texas has two runners on. They tried to intentional walk the best batter. With a 3-0 count, they threw it over the plate. She drove it into the outfield. So they were trying to intentionally walk and accidentally threw a strike? Well, they did it close enough to place she hit it. Wow, that's interesting. It reminded me of Eric Cawful at UK for several years, and they would intentionally walk her,

I'm like, I'll just please throw it a little closer. Yeah. Well, I didn't see it. I did see, I appreciate the call, that Texas Tech had paid a million dollars for one of their players. The pitcher. The pitcher. It's the pitcher. And she ends up, does she give up the hit last night?

Yeah, because she was leading one to nothing. I didn't go on the late inning. I don't think they made a pitching change. Did they had to be her? Yeah. Yeah, the women's college World Series has been exciting. But so tried to intentionally walk her and we're not able to do it. You know, because in Major League Baseball now, you don't even have to throw

the pitch. You just say whatever. That needs to be ruled being adopted everywhere, but you don't have that situation like you had last night, though. You get a little bit close to the plates. No, I like it. I like it where you had to throw four pitches because sometimes you would have a pitcher that would throw a wild pitch. Well, I guess that's what they were trying with runners

on. They had to be careful there that they don't. And unlike baseball, right, and softball, can the woman like stand up like they used to do in baseball and hold it out? Are they allowed to do that or no? Well, that's what they were doing there. Yeah, that's what they were doing. Like the catcher was standing up calling for an outside pitch, and she just threw it kind of right down the middle and high. Wow, and she just ripped it up.

Yeah. On a 3-0 count, the caller said. It was interesting. So, see, I didn't see that. They were saying that she's so good at throwing strikes, she couldn't even try to throw a ball. That's like the George Washington. He couldn't tell a lot.

Like, she's so good she can't throw a ball? Yeah, that's what they were saying. I was listening to Sports Center with Scott Van Pellett, and they were interviewing, was it, what's her name, Mendoza? Yeah? Yeah, she said that the pitcher is so good at throwing strikes, you couldn't even throw a ball when she was trying to do it intentionally. Wow, like I cannot tell a lie.

I cannot help, I cannot throw a ball. I just can't do it. All right, Michael, go ahead, Michael. I had another football question for you all. So I am a season football ticket holder, and I've been telling my friends this I have a bad omen about this season, and I need you all to look me in the eye and say, Michael, Kentucky is not going to go two and ten next year. And I'll hang up and listen.

Kentucky is not going to go two and ten. They're not. They might go three and nine. But they're not going to go two and ten. No, they're not. They're not going two and ten. We're going to beat Toledo. We're going to, I would not put, if you made me bet on a wind top,

I'd say four. Because in the over under, four and a half right now? Because I'd say we win one game against someone, probably at Vandy. I think we win. But I wouldn't swear to winning more than 30. But I will, we're not losing, we're not only winning two. We're going to win three. We're not going to go two in ten.

That will not happen. Even if we found a way to lose to Tiliu. They still are going to. I think he'd find a way to rally the troops to win at least one more day. They'll beat somebody they're not supposed to. Stoops teams always do. They'll beat Ole Miss last year at Ole Miss. They weren't supposed to win that game.

They'll beat somebody this year. What's the game you think we could win that we're not supposed to win? Let's just assume that we should beat Van, even though I know they're going to be good. And who would it be? I'll say at Auburn. See, that's exactly what I was going to say. Were you? If you were going to say the, what's the game that Kentucky wins that you go, why did they win that?

At Auburn. To me, seems like the one. feels like it. I would like to say at South Carolina, but we have trouble down there the last couple years. I think the other one is maybe you could squeeze out Florida at home. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. The eyes of the horse racing world are on New York this weekend.

I'm so used to throwing strikes. I couldn't even throw ball four. You already threw three balls. Couldn't throw the fourth one? A guy that just called in that was on with us said he was a softball pitching coach and they would have to try to train them to throw a ball. Is that right? Yeah. Like you're so locked in. Your body just won't allow you to throw a ball. That is really amazing. That's a good problem to have, really. That really is. All right. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR.

Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, ref, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clifford Show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Everyone.

The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights.

which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects. In love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I actually drop better when I'm high. It heightens my senses.

calms me down. If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different.

So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council. We don't have to say what it is, but I've learned during the break something from Shannon and Ryan that I had no idea you would be the one to teach me. Ocean Spray. Just get to learn that brand. I had no idea that that was, I mean, if you heard the commercial, I guess those in the podcast won't have heard it. But I had no idea and you all told me. Now you know. Now you know. I had no idea. Thank you to Shannon for letting me know about

oceans break. 8.59-28-0-20-287. Text machine is 772-7-7-4-5-254. One person writes, Matt, I hate to hear you all be height supremacist. Funny phrase. When it comes to dating, but most women I know think height is very important. The man has to be taller than it. I can see that because, like I said, I don't think I would ever want to date a woman who

was taller than me. and I can see a woman. You would just be intimidated. Probably. Why? I don't know. You're not really intimidated by much of anything. I'm a little dude.

What are you talking about? He's intimidated about everything. Jim Hose. Do you attack it? Well, that's true. But you do like, you do. How do I say this?

You do like believe you're very attracted. Like you have like, I don't want to say over because that's being mean, but you have a lot of confidence. when it comes to your attractiveness. But not when it comes to a tall, beautiful woman. I probably cower like, nope. Then you like tense up.

I tap out. That's interesting. I did date a high school basketball player. I hope you were in high school. Yes, I was in high school. Okay. She was probably an inch taller than me. Okay.

Yeah. That's not that much, though. No. Yeah. One person writes, Matt, don't act like you would date a one that's taller than you. I don't believe it, especially with you being 6'4. I mean, I could.

You just don't see. I mean, how many women are taller than 6'4? Yeah. Like, how tall is the tallest woman in the WMBA? Like, how tall is like Brittany and Griner? What is she? She's like 6.7? Maybe.

6.8? I don't know. Like, I feel like even the tall sinners are shorter than I am. The one girl at UK. I stood next to her. I think she transferred, but the Brazilian girl, Portuguese girl,

she was the same height as me. And she was... And she was their tallest player. Well, Clara Streck is like 6'6, I think. I don't think she's taller than I. You don't think she's taller than you? I'll also exaggerate a little bit. I mean, you know, they all...

Uh-huh. Yeah, Tyler Ulyssus was six foot. No, he was not. Let's go to Jason. What's up, Jason? Hey, Matt Jones. Can you hear me? Yes.

So yesterday you was talking about country music, you know, Bailey, Zimmerman and Scott and McQuarrie. Modern country music. Now, I love country music. I don't love what class what is being classified as country music today. Yeah, whatever. Listen, I just wanted to, I just wanted to tell you that you keep doing that, I'm going to come up there and I'm going to plant my boot in your butt until they look like one is chanin. Let me just say, I can hear in your voice, and I can't fight anybody, but you're like the least scary person I've ever heard.

I'm going to plant my boot in your butt. You sound like modern country music. That's why I would not be worried about it. That's what I thought. 8-9-28027. Let's go to Sean. What's up, Sean? Hey, mate, can you hear me?

Yes. A few things. One, I agree with Ryan. I couldn't date a girl tallies on me because I feel like I have to see over the girl when I hug them. And if I'm looking eye level with the girl, I can't, I just like, I can't do that. Okay. Second off, I want to give a shout out to Frank School's dinner in our neck of the woods and pommel. My daughter is competing for nationals in Washington, D.C. this coming Monday.

We're having to leave with Pleakian, and they're competing for National History Day. and, you know, I have little freaks did. So a kid from Frakes is competing at the National History Day competition? Yes, sir. Wow, that is very cool. It's my daughter and her friend. They did a website on Ruby Bridges. Judges ain't really found a whole lot to critique, so they stand a real good chance at winning.

Well, that's awesome. I was just wanting to give her a shout out. And a big shout out to Franks. And my daughter's name is Mia. So if she wants to win, I'll give you guys a call back and let you know. Well, I'll let you know what about win. All right. Well, thank you very much.

Let's go. Mia. And what's her friend's name? Her friend's name is Ava. Mia and Ava from Franks. All right. I appreciate the call. Mia and Ava from Franks.

Go get them. Did you do History Day when you were a kid? No. My dad was a history teacher. Really? Is that true, Shannon? His dad was a history teacher? That's interesting.

I didn't know that. Yeah. Well, we always went to all the battlefields and the warships, every vacation. We'd make some, saw by some fort. That sounds awful. Oh, it was. Let's go to Daniel.

What's up, Daniel? Thanks for taking my call, Matt. I watched a video the other day about Kentucky Motor Speedway. It's kind of sad to see a facility like that just basically in ruins going to waste. Have you heard anything about it? Yeah, you know, someone spent a lot of money to build that facility. I'd love to see it used for anything, really. I'll hang up and listen to it.

Yeah, it's terrible. It really is sad. So when I, the Kentucky Motor Speedway was like a really great thing for the state. And, you know, it's huge. It's right off I-71 there in between Louisville and Cincinnati and Sparta. You know, they were just ruined by the fact they had the first NASCAR. Well, first they had a hard time getting a race. They got sued, or they sued NASCAR, ended up getting a race.

And then the first race was just a disaster with the traffic. I mean, the racing was actually pretty cool there, but the traffic was so bad. And then they just were never able to make up for it. And now, like they use the parking lots to like host Ford trucks. You know, have you ever driven by there? It's just full of trucks. But the place, it's sad. It is, it was such a nice facility.

And now they don't do anything with it. And it's just becoming dilapidated. And it just, it's, it stinks. because that was such a cool thing for the state and it just hasn't. So they don't even have the truck races there anymore? I don't think they have anything there. Oh, it's sad. They had a concert once, Shannon, right?

Like a music festival or something. And it was, I think, relatively popular, but just don't have anything. And I used to, I went to multiple races there. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, you did. Like, it was a lot of fun. And then NASCAR rearranged their schedule, took the race away from Kentucky and now nothing. That's sad.

It is sad. It is sad. It is sad. It is sad. When you drive by. it really does. It really does. It really stinks. Thank you guys very much for listening. Tomorrow we are at Somerset. What's the name of the place? The Virginia. The Virginia in Somerset. We will see you tomorrow. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.
